An Access Copyright Licence = Quality Content for Educators and Students
In schools across Canada, from elementary to post secondary, the comprehensive photocopy licence from Access Copyright is at work every day, making sure Canadian educators and students have access to a global repertoire of content to meet their learning needs. The licence gives educators and students advance permission to copy from millions of copyright protected newspapers, magazines, journals and books from around the world, complementing what is allowed under fair dealing, educational exceptions under the Copyright Act, and through the public domain. A comprehensive licence to copy gives you:
- advance clearance, so you don't have to obtain permission every time you copy where the use is not fair dealing or the work is not in the public domain.
- assurance that copyright owners receive payment when their work is copied
- the peace of mind that comes with copying within the law
- a way to show respect for Canada's creative community and to help ensure the continued creation of Canadian content.
Access Copyright also offers pay-per-use (transactional) licences for copying beyond the limits of the comprehensive licence. Pay-per-use licences can cover needs such as digital uses (posting content online or scanning it, for example).
